Public transport too. It really seems like every time a public service is privatised it goes to shit, almost as if for-profit motives aren’t aligned to public interest.

The U.S. Geological Survey’s most recent water use data for Utah shows the state uses about 38 million gallons of water on golf courses per day.
PER FUCKING DAY.
Billionaires and Guinea Worm.
The good news is we are on the verge of eradicating Guinea Worm.

But in reality, military aerial drones are much more terrifying. It sounds like a sci-fi dystopia that a billionaire could type your name, press a kill button, and within a few minutes a drone locates and bombs you. But this tech has already existed for over a decade, and is being used by the US in the Middle East and North Africa.
Not me! Wikipedia lists 14 people with my first and just name just in the category of American politicians.
God.Gods.But why?
Let me say it with a quote of Richard Dawkins on the example of the God from the old testament:
“The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”
Well, I hope you did read The Bible by yourself to make these statements, rather than leaning only on Dawkins, who seems to seek for reasons to be an atheist. I also hope you did understand the context of what is written in Bible, relating to people’s norms, God’s treatment of those norms, history of nations, prophecies, etc. Besides, the same “Old Testament” God had sent His Son to the Earth to save humanity, rendering The New Testament and the doctrine of forgiveness, love, friendship, and being the better human being.
Did God instruct people to hate each other? Did He say “kill, murder, hate everyone, and destroy the world” or something like that? I thought He said the complete opposite. Like, love each other, don’t kill, don’t steal, don’t bear false witness, don’t be envious, etc. What’s so bad about all of it?
Also, we’re talking about God, but you said “Gods”. Why’s that? What do you have against other gods or gods in general?
The thing is, God didn’t say any of those things because he doesn’t exist.
Okay. And, he doesn’t exist because of… Why? What makes you think that?
Because no evidence for his/her existence has been presented.
So absence of evidence is the evidence of absence, did I get it right?
A lot of these are things that we can improve

Man I think the unbelievable part stays in the fact that that horse fucking flyies …
Pegasus != Unicorn
Also, Pegasus was just the name of that particular flying horse. Not the name of the species.
